What's wrong with the official Facebook sync?... does froyo support that native and I couldn't find it?

I've just been using touch.facebook.com in browser.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] knives of ice:
One cosmetic question i can't figure out being used to Sense - is there any way for the icon to display the number of unread texts or emails instead of it just showing up in the notification bar?

god i wish there was a way for someone to pull and post the htc mail apk its so much better.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
Froyo DOES have fb sync. Not working 100% on cyan right now. There are fixes over in the thread in development. One of which involves editing the build.prop

Try launcherpro. Shows these notification numbers in the taskbar.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
for those of you wanting a home clock with weather replacement like sense's, beatiful widgets home looks very much the same, only you can skin it however you would like. there are dozens and dozens of available skins.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Beejis:
Or get chomp sms for your texts. I think it's much better then stock messaging anyway.

I use Google voice for VM and texting. Works great except for MMS, which is a GV limitation at the moment.

There was an issue with facebook sync on the hero build as well. Someone posted a fix there. I was going to try it out later.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] snapcallem:
handcent now has a small widget that looks like a small app that will show a number with how many texts you have unread

Anyone know of a way to get facebook calendar events into a calendar on CM6; a la HTC Facebook for Sense? I tried some Facebook Birthdays events or something that worked for about 20 minutes then corrupted everyone on reboot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlogik:
It seems like after, I don't know, maybe 5-10 minutes or more of the phone being in sleep mode, when I unlock the phone and go to do something, like check mail, or hit a website, the WiFi is always showing disconnected. Wifi Logo with the Red X over it in the upper left of some Roms.

Then, it jumps and tries to reconnect after a few seconds and shows the normal connection icon bars onthe right. Kind of frustrating waiting 10-15 seconds for it to reconnect.

Is this normal?

Every Froyo build I have tried (three different) have this same behavior. It seems the WiFi is disconnecting itself while sleeping. Then once awake again, it connects back to the access point.

I can't find any setting that seems to be affecting this.

Anybody else have this issue? Is it by design?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Search didn't help? Really, this was brought up a lot.

Press "menu" when in WiFi menu, I bet you can take it from there.

Ah, and look in the Apps section, first page will probably help you, if the suggestion above didn't.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikipirs:
No setting?

How about Settings->Wireless&networks->Wi-Fi settings->(press Menu)Advanced->Wi-Fi sleep policy?

(and yes, I do agree, they shouldn't hide an option like that behind a menu in settings, think that's the only setting screen with a menu)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blablum:
The wifi sleep policy is broken is some phones. See this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706454

or google it, there's a bunch of people complaining about it for a long time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rori~:
This option is no guarantee..unfortunately :( (there´s a bug in the OS)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlogik:
Haha...what a tool I am. Could have sworn I looked in the menu and didn't see that option.

Will give it a go and see if it works and not a bug like some have had with it.

Stupid policy by the way by default to set it like that. Kind of like when closing the lid on a laptop running Wiondows. It goes to sleep by default?!?! Ok.

My searched terms must have sucked also...I went through pages and couldn't find this.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] borjeboy:
hey i will probably get my phone this week and im wondering if you guys knew anything about an official update of the FW from samsung for europe? i mean if i install like 50 apps and then the day after they release the new firm and everything need to be reinstall
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZAnwar:
No, you don't need to reinstall.

An update is exactly what it says it is, an update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
ZAnwar,

Can I assume that my contact, calendar, and my few hundred rounds of golf score in an application called GolfCard Pro will all be untouched during the update?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZAnwar:
If you're on an untouched official firmware, and update to another official one via official methods, as in Over The Air or using Kies, I see no reason why anything would change.

If you're still sceptical, I would backup all SD contents (and internal, if any).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
If you look at the topic 'GPS Problems - The Poll' you will notice there has been a lot of talk on the JF6 update.

In there I mention Clove who informed me according to the Samsung representative and then quoted by Clove ~ "They did make us aware that the upgrade would delete all user data so a backup should be performed first."

Now you could question who is right and who is wrong here but we are talking of altering the ROM and for that to happen it is going to have to erase all data to achieve the update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
...then is there a way to backup without the need for another app from within the powers of SGS. (without using Kies as well)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Not inside the phone no.....

You need to look at external backup programs.

Take a look at either Sprite Mobile or My Backup Pro

Sprite will back up not just to your SD card but online as well. DropBox being my choice.

My Backup Pro will backup either your Apps (although backing up paid apps is against the law) or other areas of your system.

It also has a free My Backup (the non-pro version) but this is not as strong.

Both are good programs. I've used Sprite for years on WM but they are lousy at answering any messages.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
If your phone is rooted then mybackup pro can basically restore your phone to the way it was before the flash. But you have to root before and after the flash or it won't work. I just did it and the only things it didn't do was restore the APN settings, ringtones and wallpaper. I found out that flashing with odin does not wipe the internal memory card but I did not select repartition.
[Captivate General] Citznfish:
Sure, it has a youtube app, but what about playing vids from metacafe or other sites? I just get the little Adobe Flash error icon.

Is there a way to get Flash on this phone?
[Captivate General] tbae2:
Wait for Android 2.2 or use skyfire browser.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaneaus:
Can someone post the mms.apk from the Captivate?

I was messing around with mine and corrupted it. pushed the one from the Vibrant - but, I'm still getting errors.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dewt:
Here you go.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] oOamnesiaOo:
Here you go.. includes mms.apk and mms.odex
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaneaus:
Thanks! That did the trick....

So, just to be clear! The Gapp files do NOT appear to be interchangeable between the Captivate and the Vibrant.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aite97:
do u need to have the odex file with it for it to work? cause its not woking with or without it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abs.:
Hello all,

I was on EPF21B and did not have any problems.

I have now upgraded to FRF91 (using this guide http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...ally-updating-epf21b-epf030-builds-frf91.html )

All is working well... however, I am now getting an issue with signal strength. As soon as I go into a "no signal" area, the phone "latches" like this and says "emergency calls only", even though I move to a high signal area. I have to restart the phone, sometimes a couple of times, before it picks up the signal again.... this only started when I upgraded to FRF91...

anyone have any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
I have been using CM6 RC1 since it has been out and havent had a problem like this. Maybe try a different rom and see how things go. You might also try the new radio that could help you out too.

Do you have any links to this new radio? (preferably with a guide on how to flash it! lol)

[Captivate General] carporsche:
Hi Guys

Samsung Captivate is my very first Smartphone and i always knew i was gonna get an android phone.

I bought this phone yesterday and i absolutely love it.

But i am facing some problems

1. the phone is a bit laggy.

2. the battery life doesnt seem very great.

3. The third one is very weird. I went to the android market to download apps. Once i select an app to download and install, there is no notification on the top area where it should show it. I mean it takes almost 10-15 minutes for that notification to show up and the phone is very unresponsive during these times. Also the music player crashed a couple of times.

Has anyone come across this problem. Please let me know!

Well , that was the first part..

I want to know the experiences of people who have already rooted the phone and installed Froyo on it. What are the noticeaable changes? Is there any improvement in battery life?

I am pretty sure i wanna root this phone and get rid of the ATT apps etc etc.

BTW i have attached a wallpaper which i hope u guys will like :D

Cheers
[Captivate General] ghost77:
There is no Froyo for captivate , not yet anyway.

Root by itself doesn't fix anything , just lets you change system files and tinker around, more freedom so to speak.

Personally i am not having those problems, maybe you installed something that is eating up all resources, i have had similar problems on my Nexus one when i was downloading bunch of random programs and experimenting...

Try one of those app killers or restart phone maybe.
[Captivate General] carporsche:
I factory reset my phone too , and i still have to install apps after resetting. Will keep you guys updated. BTW i thought rooting was to install froyo on the captivate.

I did not know tht it was just for the workarounds.
[Captivate General] carporsche:
Hello guys

Please help me

I still am facing the same problem.

I have installed the AppBrain and fest web browser apps too, but somehow it still takes me a minimum of 10-15 mins before the download begins. And during that time the phone is very slow and unresponsive.

Is anyone else facing the same problem.

Please let me know!

[Captivate General] hobbbbit:
I've noticed something similar to what you are talking about, but defiantly not to such extend. Marketplace seems to be slow on my phone, at least comparing to my brother's Evo. Sometimes just after I start download of a new app, the phone becomes unresponsive for a bit, but it doesn't freeze or anything, just I start noticing some lag, that's all. To your other concerns:

1. Remove Live Wallpaper and as many widgets from your screen as you can. After I did that, I don't have any lag at all. You can also use manual task killer application to shut down all of the AT&T crap that runs on background (and prevent them to start up again).

2. Coming from feature phone, battery live will always look bad on the Smartphone. For me, battery lasts the whole day, from 9AM till 12PM even with a heavy use. For a Smartphone, that's good results.
[Captivate General] ricethief:
Only times I have had lag is when something is installing. Also when my network connection is bad and something is trying to pull data.

But then again i just switched from a Kaiser running WinMo to this phone, so I may just be use to lag by now
[Droid Eris General] dEris:
Here is the official MR4 update Verizon released for the Eris. This is for the people who haven't got the update yet and can't wait. And for the people who don't know how to install it (like myself).

Click to Download

Instructions:

1.) Move it to the root folder of your SD card.

2.) Rename it "update.zip"

3.) Turn your phone off

4.) Turn it back on by pressing "Vol-Up & End/Power" until the phone starts.

5.) Wait 15 seconds -- Then press "Vol-Up & End/Power again"

6.) You should get a short menu, one entry of which will say something about "sdcard:update.zip"; choose that.

This update is keyed to only specific releases, namely leak-V3 and OTA2.1. It will abort on 1.5, leaks V1 & V2, and the original root-ROM.

Credit goes to Eris User
[Droid Eris General] saintdice:
So I know this has been asked before, but I figure this is a safe place to ask again...

This is basically just a radio update, no? If it's more than that, what else is it? I'm wondering if I should put it on my wife's phone to cure some of the bugs that she's always complaining about.
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
Excellent cut-n-paste work.

:D
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
New radio, new kernel, updated (Java) framework components, update HTC Sense apps - lots of fixes.

Here is a XDA post which details what gets patched or updated in the (July 2010) OTA

Probably a lot of minor bugfixes for things that lots of people never experience.

Ok I go the update this morning via OTA and tried to install it & It came back with a ! inside a triangle Failed. I am Root only still running stock rom but have the updated over clock kernel. Is this my problem as to why it wont update? Also can I manually install it and then just have to re push SU? Or will it take root out and I just have to re-root?

Or should I not even worry about it and just run another rom?

[Captivate General] InnerGeek:
I picked up the Captivate yesterday, this is my first Android device. I have not rooted or done anything of that nature to the device. Everything was running fine until late this morning when I have been unable to download any applications from the market, 'download unsuccessful'. I just tried to perform a factory reset and I receive the following message, ' No reset was performed because System Clear service is not available'. I have tried turning the phone off and on as well as removing the battery but keep getting the same results. Any thoughts on how I should proceed?

Thanks,

If the phone has not been rooted or hacked in anyway I would just call support at Samsung or AT&T and let them address the problem. ;)

I use widget locker - not only does it have android/sense style lock it also lets you add widgets to the lockscreen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
This is nice. Thank you for the info.

Tried the free version. It is thousand times better than the stock in SGS. Looks right, feel right, sounds right!

Edit: noticed that a soft reset disable it and I need to rerun lock 2.0. Is this the same for the paid version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phoboss:
how hard would it be to make a update.zip to change the lock screen? and would it be possible to make an eclair like lockscreen with the touchwiz 3 music widget?

THAT be awsome :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Thanks for this, loving my new widget locker.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
It seems that Lock 2.0 is sometimes "killed" by the OS, and that means the lock that screen reverts back to stock. Is there a way to prevent that from being undone?

But if I adb push first, wait for the server to start, then updat from the power button on the phone, it works.

good luck.

nice guide! thanks :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lesstalk:
No offense, but I've tried many of the guides and they were difficult to follow when ADB was acting dumb on my laptop. The actual steps are easy, troubleshooting ADB on a Windows PC is a pain for most. Now that I have root and I'm using different roms, it's all easy and painless.

If there wasn't a no-linking rule on new user threads, it would have been much better...I agree.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
between the fact that it doesn't need to be any easier, and the ROM bibke holds most of this, there is no need for this thread, i understand that you were probably trying tobe helpful but you are an idiot and made a perfectly useless thread with no links for no reason

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
i am helpful when stuff i posted in the correct forum, and when it is a new thread that has not been posted in th past. when people continuously post new threads to state stuff that has already been said, especially since without links this thread is pointless, then we xda devs are going to get upset, devs do not like to see pointless threads in the dev section, and certainly don't like it when people try to belittle the work that went into root by "making it easy" first requirement for having root is to know how to use a computer, after that you can learn to do some really cool stuff
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] megan23247:
Well I thought this guide WAS Helpful to be honest! Not to mention lesstalk was just trying to help. Tubaking is always busting peoples chops everytime he says something it ends up being rude! If you dont have anything nice to say then go to a diff thread dude cause your sorry azz attitude just makes it so people dont want to post cause their scared of getting verbally bashed by folks like you! Being rude is NOT doing anyone any good and Im sure im not the only one who feels this way about you!
